It’s been an undeniably weird year for the UAB football program.
Bill Clark, the man who was the head coach of the program since 2014 and helped resurrect the program after a two-season shutdown, retired in June to focus on his health. Clark cited severe back issues that required spinal fusion surgery over the summer.
Bryant Vincent, who had been Clark’s offensive coordinator for the majority of those years, was named the interim head coach for the season.
Ultimately, UAB struggled to play winning football consistently this season. This was true despite running back DeWayne McBride having the best individual season in school history.
